Ketu (केतु) — Ketu in Vedic Astrology: Effects, Remedies & Gemstone

Ketu (Ketu) signifies: Spirituality, liberation, past karma. Rules: Co-rules Scorpio. Gemstone: Cat's Eye (Lehsunia). Day: Tuesday.

Ketu is the south lunar node — the planet of spirituality, liberation, and past-life karma. It represents detachment, moksha (liberation), and psychic abilities. Where Rahu creates worldly desires, Ketu dissolves them.

A well-placed Ketu gives spiritual wisdom, healing abilities, enlightenment, and liberation from material attachments. A poorly placed Ketu causes confusion, isolation, mysterious diseases, and emotional detachment.

Ketu is exalted in Scorpio/Sagittarius and debilitated in Taurus/Gemini.

Remedies: Chant 'Om Ketve Namah', wear Cat's Eye, worship Lord Ganesha, donate grey blankets, feed dogs.
